The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 134 The Perfect Mind Flayer (First Chapter)
Emerald, the Green Dragon Lord, had a face contorted in shock and disbelief.
"Great master."

"If you do that, although you can quickly defeat the three of them, it will be too much of a burden for you and will leave you in a weakened state for a period of time."

"They're just three low-level legends. I believe that with the power fused with yours, Master, I can defeat all three of them in a normal battle!"

“You didn’t need to take such a risk at all, great master.”

In an instant, the green dragon communicated rapidly with its master in its mind.

"...follow my will..."

"...We can't let...these three...leave alive..."

"...That human...knows...my psychic abilities...probability 22%..."

“…Erase…that human…brain…read memories…”

"...The other two battlefields...have already changed...a swift and decisive battle is needed..."

The voice of the great master answered in the green dragon's mind, firm and resolute, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

Since completing its transformation and merging with its great master three years ago, the ancient green dragon jade has sensed emotions it had never felt before from its master's mind:
curious,

consternation,

as well as……

fear?

From that...human?
Upon receiving his master's command, the Green Dragon Lord Emerald's expression suddenly turned solemn, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The three legends, who were confronting the dragon and looking for their next opportunity to attack, all became increasingly alert.

"As you will, great master!"

In the ocean of thought, the green dragon sang aloud the glory of its master:

"Show the true power you once held over all to the insignificant and inferior beings of this world."

A long series of exchanges in the world of thought is but a fleeting moment in reality.

The ancient dragon, as large as a small mountain, suddenly moved and inhaled sharply.

Then, the green dragon opened its blood-red maw, about to unleash a unique dragon breath, completely different from that of the green dragon and belonging exclusively to the [Mastermind Dragon], at Seymour in front of it.

Meanwhile, the giant brain on the green dragon's back also emitted an unprecedented, dazzling, and bright radiance, illuminating the dark, deep, and vast underground cavern, which was as large as a small city, into daylight.

This is the most terrifying trump card that the "mastermind" has played in a desperate gamble, risking everything.

……

Under the cliff.

Humans and elves are locked in fierce battle in the city of the Mind Flayers.

They had essentially taken control of the central plaza of the Mind Flayer city, standing on the ground or flying in the air, repelling the Mind Flayers attacking from all directions.

Research labs, storage rooms, brain banks, modification workshops... one after another, fleshy Mind Flayer buildings were blasted into pieces by flames and lightning.

Every second, a mind flayer falls or suffers severe damage.

“Great, these octopus heads are quite weak for some reason, and they look exhausted.”

"Keep fighting, we will definitely win!"

"Keep it up, everyone! We'll be able to take down all these octopus heads soon!"

"Watch out, be careful of these octopus heads' Mind Blast ability..."

The members of the elven delegation were panting and sweating profusely, but their faces could not hide their joy.

They seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.

However, neither the elves nor the humans noticed that at the edge of the central plaza, one of the seemingly ordinary Mind Flayers suddenly narrowed its eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

These lower beings have become careless and have deviated from their initial tactics, gathering in large groups...

An opportunity has been found...

It's now!

Suddenly, this seemingly ordinary Mind Flayer vanished and reappeared behind the elven delegation.

The next moment, a surge of spiritual energy burst forth, sweeping across the front and enveloping the ground and the air.

—[Mind Blast]!
Compared to the Mind Blast of an ordinary Mind Flayer, the mental energy he unleashed was many times more powerful. "Not good."

"Quickly open!"

"That's too late."

A tsunami of mental energy swept over most of the elven delegation in an instant.

Blood flowed simultaneously from the eyes, nostrils, and ears of each high-level elf professional, as if a bomb had exploded in their soul and mind.

The next moment, all of the dozen or so high-level elven professionals lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

Even the fairies flying in the air fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a thud.

Even under the protection of mind-protecting magic such as [Protecting Body and Mind], [Mechanized Mind], and [Mind-Damaging Potion], this tsunami-like psychic power still overwhelmed their consciousness.

In just a moment, most of the elven delegation lost their fighting ability!

"what's the situation?"

"Those elves who fought alongside us, most of them were wiped out by an octopus head?"

The human mages who were still fighting the Mind Flayer were astonished at the sight.

"A legend!"

Helen, the master of transformation, raised an eyebrow and immediately understood the situation:
"Is there a low-level legendary Mind Flayer in this city?"

"He was disguised as an ordinary Mind Flayer, secretly accumulating power, waiting for the elven delegation to gain the upper hand and lower their guard, before launching a full-force attack?"

The Mind Flayer, who had instantly wiped out most of the elven delegation, smiled, and his appearance changed slightly, revealing his true form—

Compared to its kind, this Mind Flayer was smaller, its flesh as elastic as purplish-red rubber, gleaming with a chilling light. Its head resembled a four-legged octopus, its swollen white eyes making it look even more terrifying. Its mouth was like an eel's, constantly dripping slime.

The Perfect Mind Bender!
Only one ultimate, perfect form can evolve from a large number of mind flayers!
In the apocalyptic war of the invasion of the giant ships from a distant land, the Perfect Mind Flayer, as an elite super soldier, is a powerful leader on each spaceship, possessing command authority second only to the mainframe of each spaceship.

“Fantastic! Praise be to the perfect Aguro.”

"The enemy suffered a loss of one-third of their personnel in one fell swoop."

"I wonder where the mainframe is currently placing the other perfect being among us?"

Joy spread through the mind flayer's hive consciousness.

The perfect mind flayer turned its head, surveying the dozen or so elves lying on the ground, the remaining half of the elven delegation, and the humans locked in fierce combat with other mind flayers. Its eyes once again gleamed with psionic energy.

"First, eat the brains of these unconscious elves."

The Perfect Mind Flayer flew toward the dozen or so unconscious elves, its elastic tentacles extending out to devour their brains, giving them no chance to wake up.

"This is terrible. Half of the elven delegation has been wiped out, and now we have to deal with an additional legendary warrior. How are we supposed to fight this?"

Archmage Kad's expression changed drastically.

Before he could react, he saw Helen fly past him:

“Card, we must hold this enemy legend back! Even if it’s just to delay him for a little while.”

"Haven't we ninth-ring spellcasters practiced tactics long ago, working together to hold off a legendary enemy despite a huge power gap?"

What are you doing?

Now that the elven delegation has lost half its members, the pressure on the human mages has increased dramatically, and they cannot spare any manpower to support us...

With just the two of us, we can only hold out for half a minute at most against this terrifying guy!

Kade's face turned pale, his mind racing.

"There's no other way, go ahead!"

"If we, the ninth-ring spellcasters, don't step in, we can't let others deal with the legendary characters."

The slightly overweight, bald man gritted his teeth and began chanting the incantation for the Nine Rings spell.

At Kad's level, he could only cast ninth-ring spells once or twice a day. In the battle just now, he hadn't used his powerful ninth-ring spells, saving them for now.

That was a spell that His Majesty Elion personally taught to Cad.

A nine-ring protective spell that, with the cooperation of teammates, can unleash several times or even dozens of times its power!
